5 items to give your mother to make her look less like a boomer Or at least try

For those who, once again this year, have saved their strength for last and don't want to come up with the usual banal bouquet of roses, here is a guide that will help you not only to find a welcome gift but also to realise the wish that every child has kept secret since adolescence: to make their mother a little less boomer than she is.
